Happiness is not an end — it is only a means, and adjunct, a consequence.


This one is MEGA old, taken at least a month and a half back. I like the black power salute, and I think that we all know the answer to the question posed by the little froggie on the book.

Thank you for the perfect views of two perfect children.
Pride is a terribly difficult thing to live with.
I'm quite sure that I will survive though.

Priyanka, it is a waterproof book.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, they’re MY kids. I’M the one who should be proud!
Kris McCracken said…
Candie, I’ve never fired a real gun. Unless you count an air rifle. Therefore I can’t comment on whether happiness is illusionary or not.

Jim, poor old Ez. His labels are buggered!
Kris McCracken said…
Mary, we like him.

Your EG Tour Guide, now that I come to think of it, it is probably two and half months old!
Kris McCracken said…
Lolade, there should be no problem with being proud of who you are!
Kris McCracken said…
KL, both of my lads have tremendous eyelashes.

Of course we all know the answer to that. the answer lies in the picture itself, isn't it?

Thanks for another cute pic of Ezra, it made my day :)

Kris, you should be very proud of both of your children. Why did I just say that? Of course I know that both you and Jennifer are the proudest parents. I can see it every time we are there.
My statement comes from my belief that Jen and yourself are raising two very well adjusted kids.
My pride comes from knowing that I don't have to worry about any of you.
My love and pride comes from knowing that I have nothing to worry about.
Kris McCracken said…
Neva, that is true.
Kris McCracken said…
Yamini, got it in one.
Kris McCracken said…
Roddy, money on the fridge.

Lost inside an adorable illusion and I cannot hide, I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside, we could've made it cruising, yeah.

Yes it is Theme Thusday again, and today we are talking GLASS . I've three possible hooks to hang my [glass] hat on with this theme. First, the photo! Yes, it is the river again from an odd angle in an interesting light. You can just make out the bottom, which should tell you that I'm right on the shore. In some ways, the distortion of the stones below the surface reminds me of ye olde glass windows, what they call "cylinder blown sheet glass". You can still find some of this around Hobart these days. Thw second link comes from a trip I took to Venice a few years back. You're probably aware that Venice was (is?) a glass-making centre of excellence. If you have ever been there and taken the tour of the glass factories, you might be familiar with the sheer amount of coloured glass that sits at the bottom of the water there. These fragments of glass have been worn down and had their edges dulled by their time in the water, which makes them ample keepsakes for the ...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...

Happy anniversary baby, got you on my mind

No it is not a webcam, but this photograph was taken a mere forty-five ago on my way in to work. Here you can see a good old fashioned Hobart autumn morning, with the rain pelting down and me getting drenched. This one was taken on the corner of Macquarie and Elizabeth, while I was waiting for the lights to change. Come on Ampelmännchen ! Today is my wedding anniversary, an apparently I need to be showering Jen with leather -related goodies. Va-va-vaVOOM! To you Jennifer, here is a poem I wrote this very morning. Anniversary I love you i love you iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE you I love YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou I LOVE YOU iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou Happy anniversary
